Christmas Eve, the family gathered for dinner, an unplanned and unexpected fun-with-napkins event, nativity, talent show, and a viewing of my 2012 DVD. The aunts and uncles opened their gifts to each other before heading home. Before bed, in keeping with long-standing tradition, Grammy read The Polar Express and The Story of Christmas. The Youngs opened their new PJs, the boys went to bed, and Santa arrived without a hitch.
The boys were very pleased with a
